New Community Action Guide To Support Infants and Young Children
Supporting
Infants, Toddlers, and Families Impacted by Caregiver Mental Health Problems,
Substance Abuse, and Trauma: A Community Action Guide presents resources
that service providers, advocates, and practitioners can use to better
understand and respond to young children whose caregivers are negatively
affected by these issues. The Guide offers information, resources, and tips
useful for engaging the wider community to come together for children and
families in need of support.
The
Guide is outlined in five sections:
- Section 1 focuses on the importance of early
development for children from birth to age 5.
- Section 2 looks at the newest research on how
toxic stress can harm brain development.
- Section 3 emphasizes building a sturdy foundation
for young children with family and the surrounding community.
- Section 4 outlines a six-step roadmap for action.
- Section 5 provides resources and references to
help you move forward.
The
problems facing families today are complex. Fortunately, small changes can have
big impacts. Working together—connecting community resources and groups—enables
us all to work more efficiently to help families benefit from resources that are
coordinated and responsive to their needs. This Guide is meant to serve as a
resource in support of this improved approach.
